Pros and cons of informatization in Russia

Hello friends! Today I again spent a lot of time on the State Services website. We have such a wonderful service in Russia where you can submit an application to the registry office, change your registration, and do a bunch of other useful things.

Today, for example, I tried to get an extract from the work book and order a certificate of income. Now more and more information can be requested from the state in electronic form. The current situation in the country and the world also affects (I mean covid) - they try to provide all services via the Internet, and the state's desire to control every step of citizens.

On the one hand, electronic services save just a huge amount of time (in total for a lifetime, a week - no less!) And money (you have to get to all institutions), as well as human energy.

On the other hand, all users of services are under an "electronic cap" when the state knows literally everything about them: dates of birth and weddings, birth of children, income ... Literally all information is collected in one place! And if by chance someone, God forbid, hacks this valuable resource? And this is one dangerous factor, the other is that revenues are becoming transparent.

Here, the tax authorities, of course, will not doze: how, with an income of 10,000 rubles, a person will be able to contribute one and a half million rubles to pay off the mortgage? Something is unclean here, ah-yes, check!

It is even difficult to say how useful and harmful the website of the State Services is ... One thing must be understood: it exists, it is a given. Whether to use it or not is another matter. It seems to me that regardless of whether you use it yourself, the state will receive information about you in any case. Probably for this reason I still use all the services that can be obtained on the site.

Do you use the State Services website? Do you like everything? And what is your attitude to such informatization of all human life?
